Can you publish a “foolproof” guide how to
ⓐ find out whether this needs to be done, and for which
  image types (JPG? PNG? others?), and
ⓑ do so, at least scripted?

Even when I’m upstream, I prefer my PNG files (output from
SVG or something else, or hand-drawn) to be just bitmaps
with colours, without any other magic involved (like Gamma
or “profiles”).

Also, where is a Free profile? ISTR that PDF/{A,X} creation
requires a profile too; I’ve used one that came as example
somewhere currently.

Thanks,
